Grilled Radish Crostini Recipe

Inventive appetizers for your next garden party

Bring out the naturally sweet flavor of radishes by serving them grilled on a crostini with savory melted gruyère.

Ordinarily we'd pass the "quick and healthy" cookbook section in lieu of something with more cheese, but if you're going to cook light, better take a page out of Better Homes and Gardens. These grilled radish crostinis are as attractive to behold as they are delicious.

Not so long ago, radishes were only eaten raw, on a salad or as a crunchy crudité. All kinds of creative ways have been discovered to coax out their naturally sweet flavor wih heat by roasting, braising — and now grilling.
